Anjali,

The position you are posting does seem like an excellent fit for the freebsd-jobs mailing list. I'm sure there are many qualified engineers on the mailing list who would be interested in this opportunity.

However, you are sending an email to a mailing list that reaches thousands of people all over the globe. They have a variety of different skills and experience levels. Telling every single one of them that you find them 'to be excellent fit for this position' will probably not have the desired effect.

May I suggest that you resubmit this, but perhaps not using copy intended for LinkedIn?

Thanks,


-James (one of the freebsd-jobs moderators)
